Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York recently went off about the Democrat “charade” impeachment.
He ultimately called it a clown show, which is a good choice of words.

Rep. Zeldin: Impeachment Inquiry Is ‘A Clown Show’
On Tuesday, House Republicans continued to claim Democrats are withholding information contrary to their impeachment narrative from the public calling impeachment proceedings “a clown show.”
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) joined Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and others in defending the State Department decision to stop U.S. Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, from testifying before congress until the GOP has subpoena power and the president can legal council at the impeachment proceedings, which they are calling a “kangaroo court.”
Zeldin says Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Democrats are making an effort to withhold the truth from the American people, noting the failure to release transcripts of the earlier testimony from the former U.S. Envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker.
“Now, going back to Ambassador Volker’s transcribed interview and a process, we were here ready to do our part. If anyone is going to testify behind those closed doors, we’re going to make sure that we’re there to ensure that the other 99 percent of this story is being told,” Zeldin said.
“Because guess what? If we weren’t there last Thursday, you would have no idea of everything that Ambassador Volker said to obliterate Adam Schiff’s fairy-tale quid pro quo charge,” Zeldin told reporters gathered at the Capitol.

Zeldin has been talking about this on Twitter, too:
Instead of releasing the Volker transcript, House Dems are leaking cherry picked info & keeping the public in the dark on the rest. Why hasn't @RepAdamSchiff released the full transcript & why aren't so many in the media demanding it? Because it's FULL of inconvenient facts! pic.twitter.com/RFVqfaMOgD

Instead of working together to pass USMCA, lower prescription drug prices & fight for the American people, House Dems continue to obsess over their partisan impeachment sideshow. We should be spending 100% of our time on the priorities most important to everyday Americans.

He is absolutely right about this.
It’s ridiculous.
